Hi,
I have just recently starting working in a country that is about to adopt IFRS (2009) and was wondering if anyone had had experience with possible violations to debt covenants during the transition period.

I am not sure if clients have realized this potential impact of going to IFRS, but …

Hi,

 
My name is Aashima Tandon. Can anybody tell me what exactly is asset held for sale and negative goodwill? What

at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value
less costs to sell.
Discontinued operations/assets held for sale are
presented in the financial statements as follows:

Dear All
 
Please advise your views whether subject item does come under the scope of IAS 23 or IAS 39. The loan facility is repayable in 30 years and interest rate is variable interest rate and we hedge the interest rate by taking interest swap contracts with banks.
 
In case someone needs more facts to get to the bottom of the case, Please let me know.
 
with regards
Ram

Dear Ram,
My first reaction would be IAS 39 and not IAS 23 unless the case is that you want to capitalize these costs as part of …

Dear All,

As someone could let me know when all European entities should comply with the IFRS reporting format.
Up to now we comply with the LuxGaap or USGaap but I heard that we should report next January 2008 in IFRS.
Have you the article who mentioned this transition ?

Thanks and kind regards
Dominique

See extract below:
“Currently, the EU has adopted all IFRSs, though one aspect of IAS 39
was modified. The modification affects only a small percentage of EU
banks following IFRSs. Also, EU …

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what part of IFRS deals with internal controls.
 
Thanks!

Well, IFRS standards doesn’t deal with internal control they deal with accounting and financial reporting pronouncements.
What exactly are you looking for related to internal control? Are you trying to comply with international standards? Are you involved in a company that has to comply with SOX? or you’re just trying to develop an internal control environment in your company?
 
If you’re more specific there is a lot of information that you can get online
 
There is …
